Enum AuthMode

An enumeration that identifies which categories of authorized services Apps Script is able to execute through a triggered function. These values are exposed in triggered functions as the authMode property of the event parameter, e. For more information, see the guide to the authorization lifecycle for add-ons.

To call an enum, you call its parent class, name, and property. For example, ScriptApp.AuthMode.CUSTOM_FUNCTION.

function onOpen(e) {
  const menu = SpreadsheetApp.getUi().createAddonMenu();
  if (e && e.authMode === ScriptApp.AuthMode.NONE) {
    // Add a normal menu item (works in all authorization modes).
    menu.addItem('Start workflow', 'startWorkflow');
  } else {
    // Add a menu item based on properties (doesn't work in AuthMode.NONE).
    const properties = PropertiesService.getDocumentProperties();
    const workflowStarted = properties.getProperty('workflowStarted');
    if (workflowStarted) {
      menu.addItem('Check workflow status', 'checkWorkflow');
    } else {
      menu.addItem('Start workflow', 'startWorkflow');
    }
    // Record analytics.
    UrlFetchApp.fetch('http://www.example.com/analytics?event=open');
  }
  menu.addToUi();
}

Properties

Property	Type	Description
`NONE`	`Enum`	A mode that does not allow access to any services that require authorization. This mode occurs when an add-on executes an `onOpen(e)` simple trigger, and the user has installed an add-on in a different document but the add-on has not been used in the current document.
`CUSTOM_FUNCTION`	`Enum`	A mode that allows access to a limited subset of services for use in custom spreadsheet functions. Some of these services — including read-only access to Spreadsheet service — normally require authorization, but are permitted without authorization when used in a custom function. Because custom functions do not include an event parameter, this value is never returned; it is documented only to demonstrate that custom functions run in their own authorization mode.
`LIMITED`	`Enum`	A mode that allows access to a limited subset of services. This mode occurs when an add-on or a script bound to a document executes an `onOpen(e)` or `onEdit(e)` simple trigger, except in the case described for `NONE`.
`FULL`	`Enum`	A mode that allows access to all services that require authorization. This mode occurs when an add-on or a script executes as the result of any trigger other than the cases described for `LIMITED` or `NONE`.
